Martin, Pardon me for jumping in late on this one but I have been doing a little experimenting here with morph materials. I set up a very simple scene with a ball that morphs from basketball size to ping-pong ball size. It casts a shadow on the wall via a ray-traced spotlight at default values. The beginning material is red phong (vanilla). The ending material is white transparent. With no movement in the scene except the morphing ball I couldn't even get the shadow to change size, let alone dissappear. Next I made the ball bounce on the floor as it morphed. Now the shadow changes in size but it still doesn't dissappear as the ball does. -Lee
